Zachary Alan Shrout, 35, of Terra Alta, West Virginia, was shot and fatally wounded at his residence on May 1, 2022. He was flown to J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital by HealthNet after the shooting but succumbed to his injuries. Born November 15, 1986, he was the son of Ernest L. Blosser of Bretz, WV, and Cindy Elizabeth Shrout of Bruceton Mills, WV; Joseph McDonald of Maryland is his stepfather.

A suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. The accused, Luis Martinez-Otero, went on trial in March 2024. During testimony, Daniel Grimm, who was living in Shrout’s house at the time, said the fatal bullet came through a bay window and that he stayed in the house after the incident. Court testimony and other evidence are being presented as the trial continues.

If anyone knew Zachary, his household, or observed anything near that residence around May 1, 2022, can you share information that might help the ongoing case?
